Keys & Shortcuts
Chromebooks also has a different keyboard to what you may have seen on other laptops.
For starters, there is noCaps Lockkey. This has been replaced with a dedicated Search key which will launch the App Menu. The App Menu is a place where all your Web Apps are located, you can perform searches here; and soon it will be used to search Google Contacts. If you would rather have the Caps Lock key back, you can either use Alt + Search key which will act as the Caps Lock key
Many of your simplest functions are:
Ctrl + C –Copy
Ctrl + X-Cut
Ctrl + V-Paste
Ctrl + P-Print
The Home, End, Page Up, Page Down and Delete keys are also missing, again there is a keyboard command to regain this function.
Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow key –Home
Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow key –End
Alt + Up Arrow key –Page Up
Alt + Down Arrow key –Page Down
Alt + Backspace –Delete the next letter(forward delete)
Ctrl + Backspace –Delete the previous word
Finally, the Chromebook keyboard has replaced the function keys (F1, F2, F3, etc) with browser buttons. Some of these browser buttons have secondary commands;
F4 + Shift –Full Screens the active window
Esc + Shift –Open Task Manager
Alt + F6 –Keyboard Brightness down
Alt + F7-Keyboard Brightness up
Ctrl + F4 –Mirror Monitor
Ctrl + F5 –Take Screenshot
